VOLLEY??

It's been a great day for workouts. Did my 5k, hour of yoga and just got back from the park from over an hour of volleyball volleing with my cousin. We are going to eat a little chicken and then go back out.

Now that a cool front came in the temps dropped and it's been a nice 80 degrees. Lovely compared to the high 90s we've had for some time.

Anyhow, I was reading my runner's magazine today (last months) and something occurred to me. It's about running a half and how to prepare for beginners and how advanced runners can improve their time. The article featured Biggest Loser contestant Bernie Salazar. He was the contestant from Chicago. Anyhow, he talked about after losing 130 lbs and won the $100,000 prize for the stay home contestants that he decided to run a marathon and in his first finished 2:01. By his second half he finished 1:46. It made me think. This won't be my first half. If at the end of my 15k (9.3 miles) I was still okay. I felt that I could run another 4 miles.

So, why can't I run a half in three weeks? Exactly, no reason. It's my first. And then there will be a second and god willing a third.

So thus the training really begins. Well, i'm off for the night. My cousin is patiently waiting for me to finish this blog so that we can go back out and volley some more.

Until tomorrow...Tootles
